I might get in trouble if I revealed all! ;P Actually, the
whole "torment" angle is merely there for the reader's enjoyment. Why
do I draw myself that way in those comics? Because it's funny. For a
more realistic view of things, I'll have to post one of Des's new "Day
in Life" comics, which shows my character in a more true-to-form view.
Plus, no one wants to read anything in which the artist glorifies
themselves. That's the same reason why portfolios or art prints
showing the artist or picture owner getting it on with other subjects
do not sell too well. Would _you_ want to shell out your hard-earned
cash to see someone else's fantasy? Of course not!
Next week we'll discuss potatoes.
